Mother’s Day surprises…
Well as usual, I am late. Late in saying Happy Mother’s day to all the fabulous Mom’s out there. I hope your day was relaxing and you got spoiled rotten. Like I did. I just want to say right now, that I have the most fantastic children on the planet. I do, none of you [...]
Welcome home OCD…
It’s a well known fact that I am obsessive compulsive. Sometimes it is a good thing, sometimes not so much. Today, as Martha would say, it’s a good thing. I can’t believe I just wrote that, feel free to smack me. Seriously. But it is. I cleaned off my counters. Like really cleaned them off. [...]
Planting peas and memories…
I have finally done it. It took me a while, I was having a hard time talking myself into the fact that I wanted to go outside and actually do anything. On Thursday at work, I bought some motivation. Kale. Twelve starter plants. Oh yes I did. Now in case you don’t know, I am [...]
How to survive living with a terrorist…
That’s right. We live with a terrorist. Did you know that they come in all shapes and sizes, and that you never know when they are going to attack? Of course you did. So did I. I just forgot. The cute gets in the way.
And then a coyote nearly eats your Odie…
Seriously… The Universe is mental. It just can’t leave things well enough alone and let there not be any drama. I am exhausted.
Has TLC totally lost their minds?
I don’t mean the girl band, I mean the TV channel. Cause WHAT?? As you know, I have been on my ass with the flu from hell for going on five days now, so I have watched my share of daytime tv, which I mostly never do. All I have to say is holy good [...]
Nothing like laying in bed playing with your kitty…
Pervs. I have an announcement to make. I have a new kitten. I have no idea what brought it on…oh wait, I actually do.
The New Year’s resolutions I refuse to make…
Mostly because I sometimes suck at following through. I admit that…and it’s ok. I can say it out loud. If I get bored, I will soon lose interest which then in turn causes me to find something else to do that will keep my interest or at least spark it. So I don’t make resolutions. [...]
I’m just not ready….
For it to be over yet. I feel like I haven’t participated enough. Or maybe its just that I didn’t feel it as wholeheartedly as I have before. It’s Christmas eve eve… I miss my parents and my brother and his family. I wish we were all together. I know that isn’t always doable…it wasn’t [...]
As our hearts break and our faith diminishes…
I wish to send my deepest sympathy to the families suffering after the horrible shooting in Connecticut today. It is totally unfathomable to pretty much all of us that someone could premeditate doing something like that… My heart breaks, my tears fall and still…I don’t understand. I have been reading articles about it for an hour [...]
One year ago today…
As your world ripped apart… Knowing nothing I could say or do, could change it back or make it better. I watched it all crumble, while trying to grasp at the pieces. Trying to make sense of it all… when there was no sense to be made. How do you get it into your head? [...]
A Road trip and being MIA…
I just thought I should let you all know that I may be missing for a few days…we are heading home to the parents for a couple of days. Just the two of us :) My brother and the lovely Jen as well as the Wee Prince, whom I have not seen for an entire [...]
